Commissioner Sullivan stated that he agrees with Mr. Swift that this is the kind of thing we should be doing as a city. He advised that in addition to the renewable energy aspect, just the fact that we have some light industrial business in the city and employment opportunities is also good. He noted that he does have some concern about the traffic issues, but it sounds like there is a plan to deal with it. He advised that, overall, he supports the application.
